Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) continues to add star power to the ownership team alongside Conor McGregor. The latest to join the league as part owner is Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby.
Crosby, a standout defensive player for the Las Vegas Raiders, has long been a fan of combat sports. Now, he will be able to say he owns a piece of one.

“Bare knuckle fighting is raw, real, and incredibly engaging for fans,” Crosby said in a press release [h/t MMA Fighting]. “I have always been passionate about combat sports. I see BKFC as a platform that not only showcases incredible skill, talent, and athleticism of these fighters but also brings a unique and authentic experience to combat sports enthusiasts.”

Crosby is expected to take on a similar role to that of McGregor. The former UFC champion has done an incredible job of helping promote the BKFC while also attending several events. BKFC has experienced strong growth over the past year-plus. They held a show in Spain in 2024 and are expected to hold events in Dubai and Italy in 2025.
McGregor himself took note, saying “I am thrilled for Maxx to join me as an owner of BKFC. He is the epitome of hard work and perseverance that is the backbone of BKFC.”
The next BKFC event is set for January 25 with KnuckleMania V from Philadelphia. That card is headlined by Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy Stephens.
